Fulham have reportedly set their sights on AC Milan forward M’Baye Niang and could make a move for him in January.
The 18-year-old joined the Rossoneri in 2012 from French side Caen but has yet to make a big impact at the Italian club.
As a result of the recent additions of Kaka and Alessandro Matri, the Frenchman could see less time on the pitch due to the crowded attack and a change in tactics from coach Massimiliano Allegri.
According to Sportmediaset, Fulham could look to acquire the youngster on loan in a deal that was similar to the one they had for Milan midfielder Urby Emanuelson, who spent the second half of the 2012-13 season with the Premier League team.
It’s also been reported that other Serie A sides like Sampdoria and Genoa may also push to secure the player’s services on loan come this winter.
Niang became the second youngest goalscorer in the Diavolo’s history after scoring his first goal for the club at the age of 17 years and 350 days in their Coppa Italia match against Reggina last season.
